Harrington Bridge crosses the River Trent near Sawley, Derbyshire. It was the A453 road from Nottingham to Birmingham but on completion of the M1 the A453 was downgraded to the B6540.
The bridge is mainly constructed of stone in 1790, but with a central cast iron section constructed in 1906. The stone sections are Grade 2 listed.
Previous bridges have been built at this point but all have been washed away.
